Vascular Spasm

Vascular Spasm

The vascular phase, also known as vasospasm, is the initial stage of hemostasis, crucial for preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. After a vessel is cut, nerves in the damaged area trigger pain and other sensory impulses. Simultaneously, the smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, resulting in a vascular spasm. This contraction reduces the vessel's diameter at the injury site, slowing or stopping blood loss through the vessel wall. Vascular spasms typically last...

Summary

Postoperative cerebral vasospasm after glioblastoma resection is rare but can occur. Prompt treatment with endovascular intervention and induced hypertension can resolve neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Neurology
Oncology

Background:

Postoperative cerebral vasospasm is typically associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
It is infrequently reported after resection of intrinsic diffuse lobar neoplasms like malignant gliomas.

Keywords:
